"Scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight.” David Livingstone

Following a 3 hour private drive north, spend the final two nights in the grand Victoria Falls Hotel, one of the country’s most iconic hotels. This Edwardian-era hotel sits in a prime position overlooking one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the world. It was built in the early 1900’s, during the time when Cecil Rhodes famously attempted to link Cape Town to Cairo by rail. In the small village of Victoria Falls, experience as many or as little as your heart desires, from adrenaline filled white water rafting and zip lining, to historic steam trains and historical walks. Always included is a dreamy sunset cruise down the mighty Zambezi River for an African farewell to remember.
